Casablanca: C++ on Azure

Description

Casablanca is a Microsoft incubation effort to support cloud-based client-server communication in native code using a modern asynchronous C++ API design. Think of it as Node.js, but using C++. Casablanca gives you the power to use existing native C++ libraries and code to do awesome things on the server. Come and watch John Azariah and Mahesh Krishnan show you how it is done

Very interesting. What's about using this library for not Azure application? For instance, can I use namespace "http" to write REST service as console desktop application or "http::json" to serialize objects? As far I understand that answer is "Yes".
